Nicolas Cage Refuses to Turn the Other Cheek and Natalie Slams Amy

A few weeks ago, I blogged about Kathleen Turner’s new autobiography titled “’Send Yourself Roses.” More specifically, I blogged about the things Kathleen said about her co-stars. She had accused Nicolas Cage of being a criminal while filming Peggy Sue Got Married, saying that he was arrested twice for drunk driving and once for stealing a dog. She also accused him of causing problems on the set because his famous uncle, Francis Ford Coppola was directing and he wanted to show he wasn’t under his wing. Now, Nicolas is fighting back. While he made no mention of causing problems on … Continue reading →

Grammy and Academy Award News

Two of my favorite award shows are coming up soon – the Grammys and the Academy Awards. There is a bit of new on the Grammy front. Troubled songstress Amy Winehouse, who many critics have picked to win several Grammys this year, will not attend the ceremony. Well, it isn’t so much that she won’t attend the Grammys – she can’t! Her request for a visa to the U.S. was denied. She is nominated for six Grammys, but apparently, that pulled no weight at all with the American Embassy in London who chose to refuse her visa request. Maybe they … Continue reading →

The Surprising and the Not-So Surprising

Actress Kathleen Turner has come out and said Nicolas Cage was difficult…at least he was 21 years ago. Kathleen has just written her autobiography Send Yourself Roses and in it, she says Nicolas was a real diva when the two filmed Peggy Sue Got Married in 1986. The film was directed by Nicolas’ real life uncle, Francis Ford Coppola. In case you didn’t know, Nicolas’ birth name was Nicholas Kim Coppola. He changed his last name to Cage so he wouldn’t get any special treatment for being a Coppola. He took the last name of Cage after comic book character … Continue reading →

Amy Winehouse…Britain’s Britney?

Amy Winehouse is a very talented songstress, but lately, just like Britney Spears, her private life has begun to overshadow her talent. Her first album was nominated for the Mercury Prize, the music award for Best Album in the United Kingdom. Her second album Back to Black has sold almost a million and a half copies. Yet, with all that success, her personal life seems to be a mess. It has long been suspected that she and husband Blake Fielder-Civil have a problem with drugs. Winehouse herself sang a song that contained the lyrics “They’re tryin to make me go … Continue reading →

This Week in Hollyweird

Arrests, Arrests, and a Raid There has certainly been no shortage of arrests for celebrities lately. Actress Rebecca DeMornay was arrested last week for DUI. She was pulled over by police for an unknown traffic violation. After pulling her over, police said they immediately detected the smell of alcohol. When she took a sobriety test, it was .09, so she was arrested and taken to the Beverly Hills police station. Maybe she had been out drinking with Mickey Rourke. He too was arrested for DUI. Okay, he was actually arrested Thursday morning in Miami. He had just left a nightclub … Continue reading →

Well, That is Not Very Nice!

Other magazines usually release their “sexist female celebrity” lists, but Maxim has gone one step further – they just released their Unsexiest female celebrity list. Their Unsexiest Woman Alive article includes women from all over the world that appear in movies, on television, and on stage. So, who made the undesirable list? Coming in at number 5 was Britney Spears. Now to me, this is a case of kicking someone when she is down. Britney does look a little worse for wear lately, but about five years ago, she was on everyone’s hot list. However, the people at Maxim said … Continue reading →
